KVM

Fedora 28

I had removed zfs-fuse, which also removed a number of kvm modules that I needed. To re-install I was able to follow the following link

sudo dnf install libvirt-daemon
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
sudo dnf install qemu-kvm qemu-img libvirt-python python-virtinst libvirt-client virt-install virt-viewer device-mapper-libs libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-kvm

Remove Default Network

Purpose

To remove the default network from the host. This can conflict with other services running if this is a shared environment. In my case I run a DNS server off the host, and the default network uses DNS forwarding with dnsmasq. When dnsmasq is running it takes port 53 which prevents my DNS service from running.
